The Colony sits along the northern Dallas–Fort Worth fringe, where rapid in-migration from across Texas and beyond keeps its electorate in flux — a dynamic that makes precinct-level trend lines more telling than any single cycle's topline result.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 41.4 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 4.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.7 points.
A population of 45,454, a 56% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $114,511 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wylie and Leander.
